Midlife

Midlife (also known as Red's Sage Advice, and North of Forty) is one of the longest-running segments on The Red Green Show, debuting in Season 4 and running until the end of the series. Each segment features Red sitting at a desk in the lodge, discussing some aspect of life with the audience. He usually addresses older or married men, but sometimes instead talks to teenagers and young adults. Topics vary widely and include "Apologizing to your wife", "Don't get mad, get even", and "How to avoid becoming an old geezer". Generally, each segment ends with the camera pulling back from Red as he says "Remember, I'm pulling for you. We're all in this together." The most notable exception occurs in the Season 6 episode The House Raising, where Red's nephew Harold fills in for him to advise older men on telling their favorite stories in a way that doesn't annoy younger people. He ends with his own take on Red's catchphrase: "Remember, you're on your own. Don't push it."

Other exceptions include Guinness World Records, where Red ends by saying "Remember, I'm pulling for you. We're all getting even together", and School Bus Blimp, where he cuts off his tagline with "Forgot what I was going to say." Other similar segments include Buddy System, in which two Lodge members trade off in giving rapid-fire advice to men facing trouble in their relationships, and Red's Advice to Teenagers, in which he talks more specifically to teenagers about life issues while walking around outside in a raincoat.
